Tad Martin

A creature of the early-nineties indie comics scene, Tad Martin stepped onto the page in 1992 courtesy of creator Al Frank and Caliber Press — that scrappy publisher that gave voice to so many unconventional stories the mainstream wouldn't touch. Spanning an impressive stretch from the Copper Age all the way into 2015, Tad's adventures unfolded across his own dedicated series, a mark of real staying power in the independent world. For fans who love digging into the corners of the Caliber catalog, Tad Martin is exactly the kind of personal, creator-driven character that makes indie comics collecting such a rewarding treasure hunt.
